This has been a slow struggle to bring this stove to life, but the payoff has been pretty solid thus far.
I found this barely-functional moblife stove in the back yard of Nauti Nell's consignment in Deltaville VA. It was filthy from sitting outside, had a good-sized wasps nest in one burner.. and a $200 price tag. A brand new Force 10 double burner propane stove would run me about 10x that much, so suddenly the wasps seemed like not that big a deal.
after a can of wasp killer I tore the entire stove apart. Everything needed to be scrubbed, and too many rusted things needed to be sanded and painted, or outright replaced. A bit of scrap teak fit the handle almost perfectly, and suddenly it looked like a real stove!
